Ten-Dimensional Covenant [Unlimited]

Just as Yuzhou was thinking hard, a series of bells rang, and the gentle voice of the npc lady appeared out of nowhere in everyone's ears: "Everyone, thank you for finding surprises for me. I have nothing to help, so I made some food. You must be hungry after being busy for so long, do you want to come down and have some food?"

After finishing speaking, Xiaohuangluo's eyes rounded slightly, and he said in surprise:

"Is this npc still cooking food?"

"As long as the rules set by the convention are not violated, NPCs still have a lot of freedom in the dungeon." Fen Shuangyan replied, she patted her stomach, "Sharpening a knife is not a mistake for a woodcutter, just a little hungry, go down and have a taste Food for the planet."

As she spoke, she gave Yuzhou and Xiaohuang a look, turned and left.

Xiao Huangluo quickly followed, but Yuzhou did not act immediately.

Zhou Xiaolin secretly glanced at Yuzhou, who was as immobile as a mountain, and said worriedly: "It can't be a trap, right?"

"It should be the dungeon design. After the player has a certain understanding of the situation after the preliminary investigation, the dungeon will arrange for NPC to give a new round of information to help the player find out the truth." Yuzhou analyzed.

After Zhou Xiaolin heard this, he hurriedly chased him out. While running, he still gave Yuzhou a grateful look.

Shanfeng saw some clues, and stood up slowly, jokingly said: "You have a good abacus."

Yuzhou: "Thank you."

"Hmph, be careful and count the tricks." Shan Feng left without looking back after leaving this sentence.

Only Yuzhou and Bonan were left in the room.

"My lord, how did you do it?" Bonan, who huddled together as the two descendants left, finally dared to speak loudly:

"Unknowingly, I secretly flirted with that kid surnamed Zhou, secretly passed the song, and secretly hooked up. Now, no matter who solves the puzzle first, you will know the truth, and you will be invincible place."

"Yeah, not to mention that there are only 2 of them. If we find the surprise first, there will be 2 spots left." Yuzhou said with a smile, "At that time, who should I give the remaining spot to?" ?”

"My lord, my lord, I am your most loyal licking dog!" Bonan smiled obsequiously.

Yuzhou gave him a squinting look: "If you can satisfy me, I won't give up my relatives to get divorced, and give up the roots to the end."

"Follow your lord's instructions!" Bonan roared, almost knocking down the clock hanging on the wall.

Yuzhou: "Do you believe that I will throw you into the toilet right now?"

"Don't, don't." Bonan laughed accompaniment, and then said, "Sir, should we hurry down?"

"No hurry, Qihe is there, no matter what Zhou Xiaolin asks, I will know." Yuzhou touched the smooth astronomical telescope and said, "What I have to do now is to go through this place again."

With that said, Yuzhou opened the drawer.A strong musty smell came to the nostrils.

Yuzhou pinched his nose, waved the air, and then began to look through the drawers. As Fen Shuangyan said, there were food packaging shells everywhere, crumpled pieces of paper, and hats with a big hole in them. There are also various painting tools such as brushes and towels.

A raunchy, demented artist.Yuzhou thought.

"Wait, what is this?" Yuzhou dug out three strange things.

A library card from the Montreal library, a train ticket, and something like a ruler.

The borrowing card is a round, old-fashioned cardboard. Borrowing and returning books needs to be handwritten. I saw that the record reads:

On July 7, borrow "Introduction to Passwords", "Magic Numbers", and "Astrology Rubbings".

Renewal on August 8.

Renewal on August 8.

……

Returned it on January 1th, and borrowed "i's Password New Solution", which has continued to this day, and there has been no renewal or return information since then.

Yuzhou put down the debit card and picked up the ticket. Two place names were written on the ticket, the capital Gaolai and Xincheng Blind, and the place names were connected into a clockwise circle with two arc arrows.

Prompt that this seems to be a round-trip ticket for transportation.The time is March 3th and March 11th.

On the back of the ticket, there were 4 secondary tickets, which were marked with "0.01", "0.023", "0.009", and "0.045", and the rest were blank.

As for the last piece, it looks like a folding ruler, but there is no scale on the ruler surface, only 10 drop-like grooves.After the ruler is closed, the two grooves form a semi-enclosed space.

"Have you ever seen this thing? What is it for?" Yuzhou asked.

"Is it used to fix the paper?" Bonan gave his guess.

"No, it's not tight, and it's light." He said and threw the ruler to Bonan, "Take it, and ask that npc lady later."

"Okay, my lord."

After Yuzhou closed the drawer, he came to the side of the bookshelf. He said it was a bookshelf, but it looked more like a dish rack on earth.

There were 5 or 6 circular books on the shelf, and he flipped through them. They were all books about painting, but he couldn't find "New Solution to the Code of i".

He picked up a copy of "Skills of Composition", which was comparable to a washbasin, and just read two pages before his scalp became numb due to the dense technical terms in it.

Forget it, Yuzhou put down the book with concern, feeling that this kind of thing is more fun than being alone, so after dinner later, let's go find clues with Fen Shuangyan.

He wandered around the house, and finally locked his eyes on the round wooden bed.

There was a tiny blood spot on the edge of the sheet.The color is bright red, indicating that the blood stain has just been stained.

Xiaohuangluo or Shanfeng once stayed here.

Yuzhou quickly realized that he walked forward quickly, pulled off the sheet, and looked under the bed.There is an ash-free area about 1m in diameter on the tan floor.

Someone took something from under the bed.

And this matter was not discovered by the other party.

I'm in trouble, if the things are in Shanfeng's hands, he will never give them to others, and he won't even mention them to Zhou Xiaolin.

Can only pray that it is a useless thing.Yuzhou licked his dry and chapped lips, took a sip of mineral water, and said to Bonan, "I have measured the approximate area of ​​this place with my steps. Each room is 50 square meters, and the wall is 20 cm thick, which is consistent with the floor area. , In other words, there is no secret room here, we have gone through all the rooms and seen all the paintings, which one do you think has the possibility of becoming a surprise?"

Bonan leaned on the edge of the toilet, pointed to the painting on the wall and said, "If I have to say one, it's the only one."

"Why?" Yuzhou asked.

Bonan said: "The display area below is open to the public, so it is impossible to place surprises there. And those in the studio and storage room on the second floor are randomly thrown on the ground, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible. Then there are only these It's gone."

"Indeed..." Yuzhou looked up at the painting. The whole picture is composed of blue, black and yellow. The setting is very similar to Van Gogh's "Starry Night". It is a dark and deep starry night with no moon, two huge galaxies vortex are biting together, surrounded by mysterious patterns composed of 7 different circular curves. Although the color is very dark, it does not feel depressing at all, not even like " It is not as restless and turbulent as Starry Night, but it has a quiet and peaceful feeling.

Yuzhou took down the painting, and was going to ask the lady with the ruler later.

"My lord, do you think it's this one too?"

"It's too conspicuous." Yuzhou shook his head and said, "If the surprise is so easy to find, is it still a surprise?"

"Then how do you pay it back?"

"The painting hanging here must have its significance. You can ask that lady."

"My lord is wise." Bonan flattered, "Since this is the case, which one do you think will be a surprise?"

Yuzhou sorted out his thoughts: "There are three possibilities. First, although there is no secret room here, there may be a hidden compartment on the wall, and things are placed in it.

Second, although surprise is a painting, there are thousands of types of paintings. Sand paintings are paintings, oil paintings are also paintings, and even tattoos can be paintings to a certain extent.According to this kind of thinking, the surprise is very likely to exist in that lady. "

Yuzhou thought of Laord, that thing, that soul-stirring night and that foolish person. He was in a daze for a while, then shook his head to wake himself up.

"As for the last one, it is also the most likely one in my opinion, coating. The painter added another layer of paint outside the surprise, and it needs to be scraped off to find its true colors; or, a certain part of the painting is painted with special paint The painting can only show its true colors when it meets water and fire.

Of course, there is a basis for this speculation. On the eve of the wedding anniversary, the artist specially found three unknown mineral pigments from Blind Su Mountain, and their properties are unknown, and they may be used for this purpose. "

Bonan nodded frequently: "My lord is wise, your lord is mighty!"

"So I speculate that the central exhibition hall on the first floor is the place where surprises are most likely to appear. There is nothing more eye-catching than a picture-in-picture hidden under a magnificent mural." Yuzhou rolled up the scroll and put away the picture in the drawer. Three items, with a smile on his lips: "Let's go, the dinner has been going on for so long, and it's time for the protagonist to make his debut."

. . .

gallery first floor lobby

Five people were sitting on the sofa, facing a small wooden round table. On the table was a large iron basin. In the blue clear soup, the round meatballs were crystal clear, which made people move their index fingers.

Fen Shuangyan ate it heartily while admiring: "Ma'am, your craftsmanship is really good."

The lady thoughtfully made a bowl for her, and smiled softly: "They are all home-cooked dishes, as long as you like them."

"Auntie, I want it too." Xiao Huang Luo said sweetly after drinking the soup and handing over the dishes.

Zhou Xiaolin held the soup bowl and ate the meatballs one after another. He looked hesitant, as if he wanted to ask something, but he didn't dare to be the first person to eat the crab.

In the audience, only Shanfeng remained silent with a dark face.

"Sorry, I'm late." Yuzhou Shi Shiran stepped into the hall, bowed slightly, and went to the table.

Fen Shuangyan laughed, and pulled Yuzhou to his side: "With us, you will have to punish yourself with 10 cups."

Yu Zhou picked up his bowls and dishes with one hand, and said with a smile, "Ten cups is too much to eat, or you can fine me to eat 10 more bowls, what do you think, ma'am."

Fen Shuangyan: "What kind of punishment is this? This delicacy in the world is a reward."

"My, mine, then I have to taste the lady's craftsmanship." Yuzhou picked up the soup bowl and took a bite of the round meatball. The sweet and fruity taste filled his mouth instantly. It's not delicious, but Very refreshing: "OK."

Yuzhou gave a thumbs up. At this moment, someone kicked his left leg. He turned his head and saw Zhou Xiaolin's anxious face. Just as Yuzhou was about to say something, someone kicked his right arm again. She bumped hard, this time it was Fen Shuangyan, she spread her left hand, and wrote a line of black words with a pen on the palm of her hand: I asked the npc, she can answer us 5 questions, we discussed it, we asked 3 questions, There are two of them.

Yuzhou, who was attacked from left and right: "..."

You two should be more reserved.Wait, why do I feel a hint of cheating pleasure?

Although this feeling was particularly refreshing, in order to prevent the "adultery" from being exposed, Yuzhou asked directly: "Ma'am, I have a question to ask you."

"You said."

"What happened on the day your husband died unexpectedly, and is his death related to the death of the city?"

"Ah." When the lady heard this question, there seemed to be tides in her green eyes. She closed her eyes silently, and waited for the tide to recede before telling the story of that day:

"That afternoon, it was raining heavily, and the gallery was empty. I thought that no one would come due to the heavy rain, so I closed the door early and went to the exhibition hall to clean up as usual.

I scanned all the way and came to the central exhibition hall, but saw my husband holding a water tank with his back to the door, talking to himself.

He was worried, I called him several times in a row, but he didn't hear him, until I patted him on the shoulder, he turned his head, his face was full of surprise and panic. "

When she said this, she actually laughed, "He looks tall and big, but he is actually a very shy person. He usually stays at home and reads books, or lives in a gallery to draw pictures. He rarely has such an expression. Unless he is carrying What did I do wrong. I asked him with a smile, did I forget to water the little red garlic, or did I dye the clothes on the paint again. He didn’t answer, so I asked again, did I put the meatloaf and flour in the Together?"

"He still hasn't answered." Her voice was very gentle, unhurried, as if the scene of that day had been circling in her mind 100 times,

"At that time, I thought, it's bad, he must have forgotten to send Lin Yu to the pastor. I was anxious and angry, and just about to reprimand him, he suddenly hugged me, with his messy head on my chest Before, like a coquettish big dog, he said that he wanted to be with me and never leave him for the rest of his life."

Speaking of this, the lady had tears streaming down her face, "I was angry and funny, rubbed his head, and told him that there is always a banquet in this world, and no one can be together forever. Who knew that this sentence became my The last farewell between the two."

Even though the lady covered her face with black sand, she still couldn't hide her grief. Her tears wetted her black veil and slid down the back of her hand drop by drop.

"After I finished speaking, I heard a loud noise, and the fish tank in his hand fell to the ground. At that moment, the wind and rain blew up, and I only felt a severe headache, and then, I lost consciousness.

In the mist, in the depths of the dark sea of ​​consciousness, the contract I signed with the Ten-Dimensional Covenant, when I woke up again, I realized that not only my husband and I, but the whole world died at that moment . "

"What, you mean, you don't know how you died!?" Zhou Xiaolin exclaimed.

By the way, Yuzhou's expression changed, but before he could speak, the lady nodded slightly, "Yes, after I woke up, the world has undergone earth-shaking changes, the streets and alleys are empty, and the bustling city There is silence, the sun hangs high in the sky, and there is no darkness in the world.

As if I was struck by lightning, I wanted to rush out to see what happened, but I was already an NPC, trapped in this small gallery, unless the instance was terminated, I would not be able to escape for the rest of my life. "

Zhou Xiaolin wanted to ask another question, but was stopped by Yuzhou, "Wait, you have run out of times."

"How come!?" Everyone looked sideways, and Zhou Xiaolin covered his mouth, obviously knowing what kind of mistake he made.

"Are you a fool? You have wasted such a precious opportunity." Xiaohuang stomped his feet angrily, and Shanfeng also looked unhappy.

"Although I really want to give you a little more clues and see that surprise, but the contract stipulates that I can only answer 5 questions, sorry." The lady bowed slightly, "You still have 2 left."

"I asked two questions..." Yuzhou reined in the cliff, swallowed the last word "?" Make a decision."

The lady nodded.

Yuzhou gave everyone a wink and told them to talk in a corner.

"What's going on, you guys?" Xiao Huang Luo bit her lower lip and said angrily.

The mountain wind is on the verge of erupting, "A bunch of useless things!"

However, Fen Shuangyan did not reprimand the two of them, and said solemnly: "Stop blaming each other, let's discuss what to do next. There are not many opportunities, so I propose to change the original strategy and write down the questions each of you wants to ask in the On paper, pick the two most important."

Shan Feng sarcastically said a few words, but surprisingly, he agreed to this method.Everyone took out pens and paper and started writing.

Yuzhou wrote: 1. Do you have any clues about the surprise?

2. Did you suffer from any incurable disease before your death?

3. What do you know about Blind Su Mountain?

Yuzhou quickly wrote down three broad questions. He also wanted to ask questions about library cards and strange rulers, but after a moment of deliberation, he still didn't write down. Even if these questions were written, the other five people would not agree.It will expose the information he already knows.

After everyone put the notes together, Yuzhou compared them, and almost everyone mentioned his first note.

As for the two or three, only Zhou Xiaolin mentioned it, and he asked one more question: Does your husband refuse you to go to the studio on the second floor?

Sure enough, he recognized the text on the bottom of the plaster statue and learned the information about Blind Su Mountain.Yuzhou thought, and he had written down the engraved words in such a short period of time. This observation ability is indeed not simple.

As for Fen Shuangyan's piece of paper, there was an extra item: You and your husband have a very good relationship, but why are there no portraits of you in the studio or bedroom?

Yuzhou has also thought about this question, and the answer doesn't care about two things. First, the painter is from the landscape school and doesn't paint figures. Second, he has actually painted it, but they didn't realize it.

Just like the distorted and changing ring he saw when he first met the lady, perhaps every end-to-end ring on the drawing paper is a living creature.

What proves this is the plaster statues. On the earth, plaster statues are generally carved with human figures, and perhaps this is no exception.

Yuzhou glanced over Xiao Huangluo's paper without pausing, and then turned to the next one. Bonan only wrote one, and he didn't seem to want to be the one who made up his mind. In this case, it will never be strong.

Finally, Shanfeng wrote on his paper: Do you have a special form of painting like stone painting?

Stone painting?Yuzhou immediately remembered the thing under the bed, it should be a huge stone, which was well stored, so Shanfeng wondered if the surprise would be painted on the stone.

Sure enough, the things under the bed were taken away by him.

The six people present all read other people's notes, all frowned deeply, and looked at each other quietly.

"Since everyone wants to ask, there should be no doubt about this question." Fen Shuangyan asked the first question to the npc lady, "Do you have any clues about the surprise?"

The lady touched the ring on her hand, "He usually runs a gallery, and at night, he locks the door and prepares surprises alone. I want to stay and help him, even if it is to cook something to eat, but he disagrees and kicks me out of the gallery , Actually, rather than being surprised, I want him to spend more time with me."

The lady's voice was inaudible, and it took a long time before she settled down: "I don't know what he did, but he does have an anomaly. In the first few months of preparing for the surprise, he has visited Erudite many times Well-informed i, that is a wise man who has made considerable achievements in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology.

But in fact, apart from painting, my husband is not very interested in those scientific things.

This kind of visits became more frequent during the months when he was preparing for surprises, and he always brought a notebook with him. When he came back, there were messy dots drawn on it, and he didn't know what to do. "

The lady said a little desolately, "A few times, I wanted to go with him, but he refused with righteous words."

The lady hung her head, as if caught in some kind of sad memory.

None of the 6 people present dared to speak out and asked her if she had finished speaking.

It wasn't until 10 minutes later that the npc lady still didn't speak, and Fen Shuangyan made a gesture, and everyone came to the small corner again.

Fen Shuangyan said, "Now that the answers to the four questions are out, what do you want to choose for the last one?"

Zhou Xiaolin said weakly: "According to that lady, that notebook is not a record of stargazing, has any of you seen it?"

Shanfeng said: "Heh, someone is hiding again."

"Aren't you the same, the thing under the bed, huh?" Yuzhou said in a neutral tone.

"All right, all right, stop arguing." Fen Shuangyan said, "Let's think about what the last one wants to ask."

"Not bad." Yuzhou nodded.

The two sides each hid a secret, so naturally they didn't say much. Soon, they focused on the last question.

"What is Blind Su Mountain?" Fen Shuangyan asked, Zhou Xiaolin also wrote this message, she didn't hide it, and asked directly.

"The mountain where minerals are mined, but some strange things seem to have happened recently." Yuzhou said and said the content printed on the bottom of the plaster statue.

Fen Shuangyan: "Do you think it has something to do with the surprise?"

"It's hard to say, maybe there is, maybe not." Yuzhou secretly gave her a wink as he spoke, indicating that we will talk about it alone later.

Fen Shuangyan understood: "What about this one, why do you think she has an incurable disease?"

Yu Zhou said: "She said that there is always a banquet in the world. How could the couple of Qin Se and Ming say such things when one party confesses, unless she is about to die."

"That's right." Zhou Xiaolin also said, "They have been married for 15 years, and the painter still puts what these lovers would say. It is very abnormal. The most likely thing is that the lady is dying at that time. What he said Every word of love is a silent cry from the bottom of my heart.”

No wonder, the painter's last stage of painting is so depressing.Zhou Xiaolin and Yuzhou looked at each other, understanding.

"She was seriously ill, who knows, she didn't die, but her husband died instead." Xiao Huangluo scratched his head, very distressed.

Fen Shuangyan said: "Do you want to ask this question? But you have almost analyzed it, so is it a waste to ask again?"

Yuzhou is also very entangled. Asking, I feel like I wasted an opportunity, but if I don’t ask, I feel uneasy. Is there something hidden in it.

However, before he could think about it, Shanfeng said to the NPC lady: "Hey, women, you have painted paint on stones, and you can't see the pattern at ordinary times. You can only develop the color after using a color developer." Is that kind of painting?"

Xiao Huangluo was furious: "Hey! How could you do this? Didn't we agree to discuss and decide together?"

Shanfeng sneered: "This is my right. The two of them wasted two chances, and it will be my fault."

"But, you have already agreed to the second plan!"

"I regret it now."

"you!"

While the two were arguing endlessly, the npc lady shook her head and said, "Sorry, I haven't heard of this."

The matter has come to this point, there is no point in arguing anymore, Xiao Huangluo kicked the sofa and left angrily, Fen Shuangyan yelled twice but did not stop.

Yuzhou finally understood that Shanfeng pretended to agree, but in fact he didn't want to give this opportunity to others at all. He just wanted to use this to find out the bottom line of everyone and see what clues they found.

The lady tidied up the dishes slowly, and suddenly said: "I know you still have a lot to ask. The convention gave you another chance."

"What!?" Everyone said in unison, "What opportunity."

"If you can guess my husband's name, then I can give you 10 extra chances. However, only the first person who guesses correctly will get the reward."
